Christoph Waltz in The Zero Theorem, Terry Gilliam’s film based on Ecclesiastes

Yes, I experienced a great deal of wisdom and knowledge; yet when I applied myself to understanding wisdom and knowledge, as well as stupidity and folly, I came to see that this too was merely feeding on wind. For in much wisdom is much grief; the more knowledge, the more suffering.

Take an insane amount of time to write and draw a story that no one will ever “read”.

A body at rest tends to stay at rest, and a body in motion tends to stay in motion, unless acted on by a net external force.

What is the external force? What caused the disruption? Address it.
